Moses Lake City Council Live Stream

The Moses Lake City Council meeting on June 24, 2026, included several procurement and contracting discussions. Key items included approval of the Paradise Point Extra Territorial and Development Agreement, authorizing the city manager to execute the agreement for a residential development project. The council also approved night work for the Stratford Road Alder Street Bridge water main project to minimize traffic disruption. A new Request for Qualifications (RFQ) was presented for the operation of the Larsson Recreation Center, with council members emphasizing the need for updates on applicants. The council approved amendments to the unrepresented salary plan, adding three finance department positions to support increased workload. Additionally, the Desert Point Sewer Extension Agreement was approved as a direct cost reimbursement with no cost to the city. The council discussed water capacity challenges related to new developments in the Larsson pressure zone, ultimately leaning toward denying new ERU allocations due to regulatory and infrastructure constraints. A presentation on a potential Public Facilities District (PFD) explored funding options through sales tax increases or tax sharing programs to support local facilities like the museum. The council expressed interest in pursuing state legislation to enable such funding. An update on the city audit process was provided, with completion expected by mid-year. The meeting concluded with discussions on sidewalk maintenance enforcement and upcoming study sessions on downtown enhancements and stormwater management.
